After picking them up I ran straight to Lowes and purchased two plastic urns. They were about $12 a piece I believe.The black was too harsh for by the pool so I brought out my trusty paints. |

I used mineral/chalk based paints in two different lighter colors and just layered them on the urns. |

Here is a pic form this week and as you can see the paint has staid on just nicely. I did not seal it or anything. I just let it cure a few days before placing out by the pool. So there ya have it, a inexpensive,quick and easy project that adds a little wow factor where you need it. Please be sure to stop by Treasure Hunt Thursday going on now! |
Looking good!

ReplyDeleteI love boxwoods & your idea of painting the urns is fantastic! I always consider buying them, but then hate the colors they come in. I had no clue I could paint them!

I have painted plastic urns before, but never in the manner you suggest...what a great result! Mine just come out with a flat color (spray paint!), but yours have real character and look fab! My pool is still covered and it's so cold outside...yours looks dreamy!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this fabulous idea Pamela! I was getting ready to donate some black urns and pots that I purchased a few years ago and have been sitting empty on the side of my house because I didn't like the way they looked. I liked the price, but not the plastic. I never thought of painting them, I can't wait to try this!!!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great!
